We have been working hard to make our hall displays interesting and exciting! Our subject leaders have created displays that show all the fascinating topics that we cover from Reception to Year 6. More information about our Curriculum can be found on our Curriculum Content page.
In school, we are aware of how difficult life is at the moment for everyone. We wanted to do something special for all of our pupils (whether they are currently working very hard at school or working very hard at home!) to remind them that we are thinking of you all and can’t wait to have you safely back in school. Those children in school will receive their special delivery tomorrow and those at home will have theirs delivered either Thursday or Friday afternoon. They have been in quarantine so are ready to be cuddled!
Enjoy and stay safe from all the staff at Copeland Road!
PS Please send us some photos directly to Mrs Murray!
Safer Internet Day will be on the 9th February 2021. This year the theme is ‘an internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world.’ The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities for users, but how do we separate fact from fiction?
At Copeland Road Primary, our children are immersed in a positive online environment. The children from Reception to Year 6 are given the important life skills needed to ensure they use the internet safely. The children are encouraged to question and challenge information found online. It has never been more important to make sure children are using the internet safely.
Although potential new starters can’t visit school at the moment, they can watch the video that we created and give us a ring for further information about our school. We understand that applying for a place in a new school can be a difficult decision to make and want to support parents with this in any way we can.
As part of the ongoing situation with COVID-19 all schools must have plans in place should a ‘bubble’ need to self-isolate at home. Our remote learning offer consists of a balance of online ‘live’ teaching, online based and downloadable activities.

Every year we celebrate Harvest and although it will be different this year, we still intend to do everything we can to celebrate Harvest in school, support elderly people in our community and provide provisions to our school food bank at The Well.
Thank you for your continued support.
The children created some fantastic displays for the hall this term, the theme was Gem Power and how the children could demonstrate learning powers visually.
We use the ‘Gem Project’ which was introduced to our school by Dr Tom Robson. It centres around 6 gems, which link with learning powers. This project is designed to build on the work that we already do in school on building resilient, growth mindset, kind and independent learners. The different ‘Gems’ help the children to understand that no matter what they think their ability is, they can always improve.
Thank you to everyone who attended our musical celebration on Tuesday 17th December 2019, we were treated to songs sang by the school choir as well as Class 4 performing ‘Jingle Bells’ on the recorders. The whole school are extremely proud of their musical efforts as were the adults who came to watch.
Thank you to everyone who attended the adult and child art and craft morning, it was a huge success! The children had a fantastic morning creating Christmas cards and crackers, there were lot of smiles, paint and glitter!
Children from our school choir have been spreading a joyous message throughout the local area this December, with their beautiful singing. People old and young throughout the town have enjoyed listening to the children. Their performances have taken place at Barrington Lodge Care Home, Devonshire House Care Home, St Helen’s Care Home, The Well as well as Sainsbury’s. It has been a very busy time for the children but they have enjoyed every performance!
